Thanks mate, yeh when doing a light touch up sharpen i leave the blades on and use a small rotary tool as well. But if they need a big sharpen i always split them apart to properly dress the mating surfaces 👍
Thanks, Some blades do have bigger gaps then others from factory so it can vary from make to make so its hard to say really. If it is not cutting very well that might be a sign that something is wrong. 👍
If youre charging hourly. How long did it take you from start to finish. Whole job including regrease gearbox, cleaning cutter bar and shim and spacer etc. I'm a small plant tech and always feel bad for how long it takes me and I charge am hourly rate. Thanks for any advice. Regards Matt
Probably around the hour mark, so thats the minimum you should be charging for a thorough job. Most shops dont even take the blades apart and do a shoddy job of sharpening, Talk to the customer and see what they want, as there is different levels of service. 👍
Please bear in mind this is just a spare set of blades, i know they are not perfect 😂. Thanks for watching 👍
I do mine on the machine with a small die grinder and I have seen some use a dremel, you’ve done good job there 🙂👍

Showing how to check the work was great advice!
👍 hope it helped.
Nice one👍I've just uploaded a sharpening video but after watching this detailed work it'll be going in the bin🙄😂
🤣 Thanks mate. Na dont be silly chuck it up 😀
I always thought you did that best with a sweet file, apparently I thought wrong 🥴
A file can work well, it just takes too long to do. 👍
Hi
Very well done.
If there is a gap between the blades on the matting surface is it fixable ?
Or I need new blades ?
Thank you

When there’s A gap i grind the spacer a little bit, don’t do it too much
Good video, I'm glad it was similar to what I do, at least I'm doing right🤣 Nice one👌🌲
Cheers mate, plenty of ways to do it. As long as it works and gets results that is the main thing 👍
Good tips literally 👌
Thanks mate 👍
How often should I sharp a hedge trimmer?
Depends how often you use it and what you're cutting. Generally though for a pro minimum once a year.
